LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. 16, 1826. His Majesty's packet brig Swallow has arrived at Falmouth with an American and Halifax Mail ; she sailed from New York on the sth ult., and from Hali fax on the 21st. The late arrivals from New York baying brought us papers of a more recent date, we learn no news by this mail from the United States. The Halifax Papers arc likewise destitute of important matter. The Jupiter, bearing the flag of Rear- Admiral LAKE, was lying at Halifax when the packet sailed. Rear-Admiral Lake, and Mrs. and Miss Lake, arrived at Hali fax last evening, from their visit to the Upper Provinces. A pe tition to the Right Hon. the Lords Commissioners of his Ma ieety's Treasury was in the course of signature at the Committee ofTrade Rooms, complaining of the conduct of the collector of the Customs of that port. The petition alleges the grievances which have been suffered by the merchants since Mr. Percival came into office, the great, unauthorised, and illegal increase of fees, the general unaccommodating spirit and often pique manifested; and the limited and frequent injOrious hours of business kept at the Custom-house. The petition alludes to the want of local controul, and alleges the concurrence of the two Houses of the Legislature and judgments of the Court of King's Bench, in the petition, are documents corroborating its allegations. The petition, which is numerously ip:gned, will, we understand, be taken home by Mr. Wodehoirse, Surveyor-General of his Majesty's Customs, now in Quebec. His Excellency the Governor-in-Chief and Lady Dalhousie arc expected to arrive in , Quebec about the end of the week. _ . A letter has been received in town from Bogota, dated the 10th August, which gives some details of the proceedings of the Congress of Panama, which was then on the eve of removing to Mexico. tat. A Treaty of Union and Confederation between the four Representative States, with which all the other States of America are invited to unite, within the space of one year. 2d.

An Arrangement for the management of the Contingent. We have not seen the letter which gives these par ticulars; of the measures agreed upon by the Congress, but, We believe, that there is no reason to discredit t* contents. An express from Paris is said to have arrived in the City this forenoon, but no French Papers had reached 118 at the time at which we went to press. --- We copy f rom a Morning Paper the following 'letter, said to have been received from a respectable quarter, giving a very unfavourable picture of the state of Egypt : " ALawmatA, OCT. I.—The grand edifice of civilization which it has been attempted to introduce into this country is fall into ruin. Manufactures, arts, trades, nothing has become na turalized on the banks of the Nile; and by aiming at toe much, t °lh ing that was projected has been obtained.

With the poor, extortion and pawnbroker, are synonymous terms, and the daily practice of " the trade" too truly illustrates the observation. Pawnbrokers, like hackney coach- Ten or watermen, would sooner charge double t i nen be suspected of not demanding enoUgh, and mepoor man who has left a pledge with them 111 1 be said to have left hope behind him. We Eb y that when such frequent instances occur, of 4 harsh behaviour of these public receivers in trust, 4 , l l "nnting in some cases to robbery, that the law . 4 nee not d ea l w i t h t h em something in their own manner, by awarding the same hard measure of justice which they practise upon the needy dnd unfor tunate. A case occurred yesterday, at Guildhall, which pretty dearly exemplifies the way in which some pawnbrokers perform business. A pledge for one pound, had been surreptitiously sold for three guineas, and when the pledger demanded the difference, after paying the expenses, he was not only refused, but in sulted. The pawnbroker's assistant admitted that a balance belonged to the complainant, but that his master thought proper to detain it, on the ground that he .had lost by other pledges from the same person, and said that he was justified in this conduct by the decision of Sir RICHARD BIRNIE. But although Sir RICHARD may be a great authority at Bow -street, he does not appear to enjoy the same honour at Guild hall, where the Alderman acted in a more satisfactory manner, by ordering the pawnbroker to make resti tution of his spoil. But we think the Alderman did, not go far enough—he ought to have inflicted the full penalty, for the pawnbroker's dishonesty. Pawn brokers are the most unconscionable screws in the way of getting money, and they profit not more by the exi gency of the poor, than by their over-reaching bruta lity, in cheating those whom they know will fed ashamed to expose their casual poverty, by bringing such rascality to justice. And thus knaves prosper, while the world is deluded by a show of honesty, and the poor defrauded of their remaining property. The observation of the LORD MAYOR yesterday, at the Mansion House, respecting the poor, does him infinite honour. A poor woman With four children— two of them helpless and sick—complained of the conduct of the Parish Officers of Bishopsgate for re fusing her relief, when her children were in a state of starvation. It appeared that she had previously been receiving six shillings a week from the parish, because she couldnot obtain any work to support her family, and their sole reason for now refusing her was that she (lid not beg for charity, as in duty bound to these high au thorities, but demanded it in a manner which they considered insolent, and so rejected her application with becoming contempt. The insolence of office is a very difficult thing to restrain, especially where the object of attack cannot make any retort, and the Overseers of Bishopsgate seem to inherit their full share of that high contempt which expects unli mited homage to its greatness. But we think that the remark of his . Lordship will go a good way to cor rect these frequent lapses of undue authority which these parish worthies are so prone to commit. What right have they to withhold the public bounty, except on condition that the distressed must beg it as if it were a charity out of the Overseers' pockets ? Gon knows, that the humiliation of virtuous poverty being com pelled to ask relief from such quarters is itself la mentable enough, without having the insufferable arrogance of parish officers superadded to its misfortunes. These officers are only the ministers of the public charity—not the sole donors, and yet their manner of dispensing relief, deters many a starv ing father and disconsolate mother from appealing to that hard-hearted jurisdiction. People who have been reduced to poverty, not from any misconduct of their own, but from unavoidable causes, will rather perish in obscurity than encounter the stern rebuff of inquisi torial dogmatism. 'They will hide .6 their •ahatite" , from the world, and die of broken hopes and famine, ,nursing the spirit of that independence which cheered their early days, rather than submit to the open de gradation which they must undergo from surly men in office, before they can receive a miserable pittance of that sum with which their prosperity had for merly enriched the parish. But his Lordship has very humanely preached a different lesson to these dispensers of the public charity, and they will do well to attend to it. Let these worthies place themselves in the situation of the poor woman with her famishing orphans, and imagine the cold-blooded indifference of their successors in office (for they may yet live to beg from the griping hands of the parish) and then say, how they would feel the poignancy of distress increased by such conduct as their own, to this poor creature who forgot the cringing dissimulation of the beggar in the urgency of her wants. But it is one thing to give, and another to receive, and although we cannot expect that parish officers will add a grace to their gifts, yet they should not insult the poor when dispensing the gifts of others. We know that they have occasionally to deal with customers of the most hardened description ; but they should husband their hereditary harshness for those who value their rebuke in proportion to the extent of their charity. THE FUNDS. CITY, Twelve 0' Cloth. The business transacted in Britiah Funds late yesterday after nbon was very extensive, and every species of Stock rose with great rapidity.

COILONZR OF STAFFORD. This matter also stood to be argued before the Lord Chancellor, with the aid of the two Common Law Chiefs. Mr. AGAR said, it came on upon,s petition for the purpose of having the election of Mr. Dent as Coroner for the County of Stafford, declared void, and that the Sheriff might be ordered to amend his return, or to issue a writ for a new election. Ths points were two, which arose upon the 58th of the late King, chap. 95, and were then, that the Coroner had not lands sufficient in the County to satisfy all people, and that the election took place at an improper period. . . The Loan CHANCELLOR intimated that the Common Law Judges wished to have the point* argued separately, and the last point first. Mr. AGAR could say nothing more upon the last point than merely to state the facts, and read the Act of Parliament. The Act required that the Sheriff should proceed to elect a Coroner at the next County Court, after a vacancy, unless the same should fail to be holden within six days after the receipt of the writ. In the present instance the nett County Court did not fall within Mist days: it Cell on the 11041 itr...April, which was a considerab le timei after the sixth day; and when the *election ought to have proceeded, but which did not, in point of fact, till ths 27th of the same month. Mr. WurATrxv appeared for the coroner, and submitted that he had been duly elected. The 13th was the day on which the election WAS to have proceeded ; on that day the Sheriff read the writ by which he considered he had opened the proceedings, and adjourned the polling till the 27th, which he had full power to do. Mr. LovA.rr was counsel for the Sheriff, who had been served with the petitioo. He had no wish but to act with the utmost impartiality. The statutes relating to the appointment of a coro ner, were the 3d. of Edward 1., the 14th of Edward HI, the 28th of Edward 111. and the bßth of George 111., none of which prohibited the adjournment of the proceedings at the county court ; and though the Sheriff wished only to act as the court might think right, yet he did confidently submit, that he bad the power of adjournment, and that the proceedings that had taken place, had been in obedience to the law. If however there had been any sort of mistake, so as to affect the validity of the election, he trusted the Court would consider that he had hid no corrupt motive, and that neither the Coroner nor himself ought to be vi sited with the pains and penalties annexed to a Coroner's entering into office without being duly elected. Mr. AGAR replied. The Loan CHANCELLOR said, after the Chief Justices had made up their minds upon this point, they would have the good ness to state their opinions; if not, they would take their time to consider it. . The Lord Chief Justice Bear's humble opinion was, that this was not a valid election of the Coroner for the county of Staf ford. Whatever might have been the law previous to the making of the last statute, the preamble of that Act was so clear, that those who ran might read. The 13th of April was the day on which the Sheriff ought to have proceeded to the election ; and if it had been found necessary, the only adjournment he could have made was from day to day : he had not even commenced the election on the 13th, nor had be done so until the 27th. The Lord Chief Justice Bur again said, the last Act had been expressly made for regulating the appointment of a Coroner; it di rected that the election should take place at the holding of the next County COurt, provided that did not fail to be within biz days after the receipt of the writ. The 13th of the month was beyond the 6th day, but the Sheriff had not proceeded on thel3th, nor could be, indeed, legally have done so ; became, as early as the sth of the month he had deprived himself of that power, by giv ing notice on that day to the candidate; that he should nut pro ceed to the election till the 27th. Under them) circumstances, his humble advice to the Lerd Chancellor was, that he ought to delare the election void. The LORD CHANCELLOR concurring in the opinions given by the Lord Chief-Justice, declared the election that had been made, to he void. Before he had heard the opinions that had now been given, he was very strongly of opinion that the election was not a legal election; but feeling it to be a thing of the, greatest importance to have declared the election void, as well as to have a Coroner unduly elected, he had been d es i rous o f g i v i ng every attention to the question before he di now done. Re now ordered another writ to issue for a new elec irpow o f i t , w hi c h h e h a d elec tion. Mr. AGAR wished to know if the Court would do any thing about the costs ; but the Court refused to interfere. COURT OF KING'S BENCII.—(T his DAY.) JUDGMENTS ON SMUGGLERS. Thomas Wood, who had been convicted on an information filed by the late Attorney-Getters), of having attempted to bribe a person in the Preventive Service, on the coast of Sussex, to up fin , jud g ment. The evidence having b een rea d, t h e p r isoner permit him to land some contraband goods, was this day brought handed in an affidavit, alleging that Chipman, to whom he had offered th e b r ib e , had some months ago pr o p ose d to hi m t o carry on busines s i n that manner. The SOLICIToa-GinaRAL said, th at the offence of which the prisoner was convicted was by no mean* alleviated by the circum• stances stated to the Court. It was not probable that Chipman should have encouraged him to offer a bribe, and afterwards have given information; he could have no interest in it. If it were the case, the prisoner ought to have ple a d e d guilty, and then offer this cir cumstance in extenuation o f hi s gu il t . Fourteen convictions of a s i m il a r nature had taken place within the last two years, there were seve ral others to he bro ug h t up , a nd if the Court *hewed any indulgence towards them it wou ld sender the object of the preventive service entirely useles s . Mr. Justice addressed the prisoner, and said, be Was convicted of having attempted to bribe a man to permit him to ' work some tubs orliquor, which if he had done, he would have been guilty of a dereliction of duty towards his Majesty ; his I:::tement in his affidavit, that Chipman had made a proposal of this nature . :.7 him some months ago, could not operate in extenua tion of his guilt, for if tr i lad acceded to the proposal at the time, The Court taking into con it would render them both crio . nl l * sideration, that he had a wife and seven t*:,!'ildren depending on him for support, and that this was hi s first offend,would len tence him to one month's imprisonment in Horsham Gaol. Wm. Snow, Win. Hamington, and Wm. Holt, were brought up on a similar charge—they pleaded Guilty, and in extenuatiore of punishment put in affidavits, which in substance denied their guilt. The Court deeming this inconsistent with their plea, would not perMit them to be read, and ordered the prisoners to be remanded until this day week, in order to have their affidavits amended. Mr. Justice BAILILY observed, that the attorney concerned in drawing up the affidavits was guilty of a high misdemeanour. The prisoners stated that their attorney was Mr. Holmes, of Leominster. William Young, John Delman,. and Henry Limerist were brought up on a charge of a similar nature ; they pleaded guilty. It appeared that Limerist had offered a bribe to a person in the preventive service, and that the other two had been apprehended. hi the act of running sonic good s on the coast of Sussex. The AT.roarrEY-GENERAL appeared on behalf of the Crown, but did not urge a severe sentence, on account of the contrition which the prisoner., manifested. Mr. Justice BAILEY, after a suitable address, sentenced them to three months' imprisonment in Horsham gaol, and to give secu rity for their good behaviour for three years, themselves in 20/. each, and two sureties in 101. each. Michael :Bourne and William Ryan, convicted at the Chelms ford Assizes of having offered a bribe to an officer belonging in the Preventive Service, to permit them to run some goods, being brought up for judgment, Mr. F. WILLIAM IttareSSed the Court on behalf of Ryan, who it appeared had acted in a subo:f linata ca p acity. The ATTORNEY-G EN ERAL on the other side, pressed for a severe sentence. Mr. Justice BAILEY addressed the prisoners Ito !aid, flint the y bad been convicted on several charges of having conip:: ed toge ther, with a view of persuading W. Horne, an officer under s.ll °- vernment, to connive at their running some prohibited goods. The act of bringing such goods into this country was in itself a serious offence, but their attempt to persuade others to be guilty of a dereliction of this duty, was an aggravation thereof. Bourne had pleaded not guilty, and now that he had been convicted on clear testimony, he acknowledged having offered the bribe. The sentence of the Court was, that Bourne be imprisoned in Chelms ford gaol for six calendar months, and pay a fine of Wt. to his Majesty. The Court taking into consideration the mitigating cir cumstances in Ryan's case, do adjudge that he be imprisoned for four calendar months, and that the prisoners do give security for their good behaviour for three years ; themselves in 201. each, and two sureties in 10/. each. Elizabeth Foram, convicted of having assaulted a female, who was about to give evidence before the Magistrates in Hastings, on an information against the prisoner's husband for selling spirits without licence, was brought up for judgment. An affidavit was put in on her behalf by her husband, stating, that she had a family of young children, and that he would willingly pay any sum not above 10/., rather than that she should be imprisoned. The Court, however, were not influenced by this offer of a compromise, and sentenced her to be imprisoned for one -ear. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—(Tina DAY.) The Court was occupied this morning in bearing arguments upon the construction of the will of the Hey. Mr. Firman, who died in the year 1791. The executors bad been directed to ■ell and dispose of certain portions of the property, for the payment of the debts of the testator, and had, in consequence cut down timber and made sales of real property, to an amount beyond what it was alleged ought to have been done. An application was now made by the heir at law to have this over plus paid over to him as the will did not give them a beneficial interest, entitling them to retain it, and as they had injured the estate by making sales without due authority under the will. The Vwx-Ciraticsuoß postponed his judgment for a few (lays. He would then, to avoid mistakes, hand down his judg ment in writing, as the case was important, and as it would be come necessary for him when giving his decision on it, to review and comment on the proceedings before two eminent judges. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.--(This DAY.) (Sittings in lianen.) The Chief Justice having to attend ill the Court of Chancery, conimou motions were only taken by the. remaining Judges, intc• resting only to the parties concerned. COURT OF EXCHEQUER—(Taris My.) (Before the Lord Chief Baron AtzICANDA ) NORTON V. HAMMOND. This was a question whether certain tenants in and subject to the manorship of Litten, should discharge their tithes in kind or by modusses. His Loansurr observed, that with regard to the modussea the great question was, whether or not they were to he shifting mo. dosses? He then recapitulated the argument relative to each dig. trict, and stated that ha would take a few days to consider before be pronounced his decree. Barons GaattAtr, GAaaow, and Hur,Locx, were sitting in the outer Court. vI V. FLZMING• Mr. WII4.IAMS applied to them for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. This cause was tried at the last Rodney Assizes, before Mr. Justice Gazelee, and the verdict given for the defendant. The plaintiff was a tradesman, and bad supplied, from time to time, various articles to the defendant, who was the joint proprietor of a mine, with two persons named Campbell and 'Jones. The de fendant bad, however, retired from the firm, and the action was brought to recover a sum due to the plaintiff, for goods delivered after the defendant had withdrawn, and the question was, whether or not he was liable, having said, in the presence of the plaintiff that he bad retired from the firm, and which plea was considered sufficient to exempt him from liability. Ile (Mr. Williams) wished to show cause to the contrary.—Rule granted. PREROGATIVE COURT... ? THIS DAY.) Sir CHRISTOPHER Ronwsom presided in the Prerogative Court this day, in the absence of Sir Jim; Ntcnou, who was pre vented from attending by a alight indisposition. In the matter of the goods of Sir James Gleese, deceased, Dr. Donsox moved the Court to decree letters of administration to Mr. Bailey, a linen-draper of New Bond-street and Mr. Blurt, solicitor of Lincoln's Inn, as creditors to the deceased. It ap peared that Sir James Gleese formerly resided in Berkeley square, but that he died in the Island of Barbadoes, and by his will left his property to his widow and children, appointing Earl Percy and Lord Harrington his executors, The effects of the deceased being found insufficient fOr the payment of his debts, which amounted to mere than 10,0001., his widow and all his children, except one son, died without taking out administration, whilst the executors renounced their right. The surviving son was now serving in India, and it was found impossible to serve notice upon hith of the creditors' intention to apply for administration, but the forms in such cases had boen strictly attended to. Notice of the present application was posted at the Royal Exchange, and pointed out to Mr. Cox, of the firm of Cox and Greenwood, who were the agents of the surviving son. Affidavits having been made of all these circumstances, the Court was prayed to decree administration to the creditors. The Court considered that the affidavits were sufficient, and saw no objection to granting administration to the creditors in the manner proposed.—The Court then adjourned. !LAY MARKEV (At per Load o.

ROW AT THE DUBLIN THEATRE. In consequence of publications that were circulated in various places yesterday, as well as from general surmise, it was imagined that there would be a row last night regarding Mr. Talbot's non engagement. The play aanounced for performance was Paul Pry, in which Mr. Talbot used to play Witherton last season. On arriving at the entrances to the theatre, we observed placards, announcing, on the authority of a medical certificate, that Mrs. Waylett, who was to play "she was so ill, from her passage front Holyhead, that she would be unable to perform, and that the play of the Stranger would be substituted. In the course of a few minutes after the doors were opened there was a tre mendous influx to the galleries, of persons evidently respect able. The pit, also, assumed a more crowded appearance than usual. The theatre was soon dinned by a deafening uproar, composed of various indescribable' sounds, accompanied by the obstreperous music of rattles, bludgeorts, &c., well applied to the benches. The gallery folks were coaxingly witty, and occasionally some sharp sayings were let off. "We want Paul Pry"—" Aye, Paul Pry, and let Talbot drop in—he wont in trude !"—" Paul Pry and no Stranger!" Occasionally there were cheers for Mr. Talbot, and also, at intervals, loud hisses for Mr. Calcraft. (By the way, we may express our surprise at any dislike being directed to Mr. Calcraft individually ; if there he anything wrong in the arrangements as to engagements, &c. de cidedly, prima . facic, the stage-manager, who is himself " en gaged," is not responsible for the error.) The uproar continued with unabated violence, ao much so, that. the performance of the orchestra was inaudible to those nearest to it. Mr. Calcraft came &mord before the curtain rose, mid was received with tnninltu ous disapprobation, and applause from some quarter'. Mr. Cal craft, for a considerable time essayed to slink, without effect; at length, after repeated attempts, he contrived to make him ' self understood. He said he held in his hand a medical cer tificate, regarding Mrs. Waylett, and that he had directed printed copies of it to be circulated throughout the house. Under the circumstances in the certificate, it was found impossible to play Paul Pry. Several voices asked why Mrs. Brown did not play Plate A Mr. Calcraft answered that she was to play /tarry Stanley. An individual asked, why he (Mr. Caleraft) did not ' play Harry Stanley Great uproar followed this interrogatory, which rendered Mr. Calcraft inaudible to us : he retired. When the curtain rose, the perfiwiners were assailed with groans, hisses, and every demonstration of disap,robatiou. Even the appearance of Miss Lacy, who looked charmingly, did not propitiate the " so vereigu people." Cries of " Off, off,"—" Calera*" .._-shouts, whistling, hammering, composed a medley of confusion that we cannot tell. The entire first met proceeded in dumb show. At the fall of the curtain Mr. Calcraft again made his appearance, and stated, amidst continued interruption, that he had hoped his explanation would have satisfied the audience, and that those who were not satisfied with it, would get their money at the doors. Mr. Caleraft retired, a great part of the audience vociferating " Talbot ! Talbot !" The performances then proceeded, at times, however, inaudible from the noise. Mrs. Browne at length introduced "'l've been roam ing," and was encored in it. The galleries called for it a third time ; and this request not being complied with, the uproar was resumed, and continued to rage until the curtain dropped. The .Dumb Giri of the inn was the occasion for fresh noise on the appearance of Calcraft; but by degrees the tumult subsided, and towards the end, it appeared as if the non-contents hed shouted themselves into langour !—Dubtin Morning Register. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. IIA.TTON-GARDEN. —( Tuts nay.)

Her husband came up at the time, and collared the fellow, but was instantly knocked down ; ,nut it was not until the arrival of a watchman that he was eventually secured.
